BLOG: Okay, You Got My Attention

Posted on August 13, 2025August 14, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Thursday. Checked my email today and apparently my creepy stalker that I’ve had for years is still hanging around. So creepy and weird. Like, bro, get over it already. I’m obviously out in the world learning new things and absorbing new information, unlike you. “What about that time you said...Read More

Wednesday night. Somehow made it home after the ridiculous situation I got myself into on this night. Oy vey. I went to the American Bar. There was no one there. It was okay because I realized I just wanted to be somewhere comfortable and familiar. Somehow that place reminds me...Read More

Tuesday afternoon. Woke up bright and early for my interview. It went surprisingly well. I'm feeling way more confident than I was yesterday. It's a good feeling. I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna finish my application and send it off and hope for the best. That's that. I'm totally relaxed...Read More

Monday night. Interview tomorrow morning. I was sure to eat very healthy today and spend time alone with my thoughts. I got a vegan carrot and ginger soup with a chicken and Thai holy basil pesto sandwich with peach oolong tea. I also got myself a fruit and yogurt bowl...Read More

Monday morning. 6am. Bright and early. I've been awake for some time already. So many thoughts jumbling around in my head. So many thoughts. What would the Buddha do? Sit under a tree and just vibe. My interview is in 23 hours. I'm not nervous. It's just the recruiter. I...Read More

Sunday morning. Feeling heavy. Had a crazy night last night. Ridiculous. Went out to the American bar because I couldn't sit alone with myself anymore. I am officially in the exact same situation I was in when I lived in SD, which is deeply frustrating and annoying to me. This...Read More

Saturday morning. Bright and early, as per usual. Turns out Bangkok is pretty poppin' at 7:30am. Everyone's out and about, rushing to get their errands done before the midday heat strikes or the next downpour comes. Always busy and bustling about. Non-stop, go go go, but still somehow so relaxed...Read More

Friday morning. I missed a whole day yesterday because I was sick with a hangover. Ugh. I felt so terrible. I did nothing all day but be sick. Horrible. Was it worth it? I think not. Did some more research on Malaysia. Definitely not as chill as Thailand, lol. Definitely...Read More

Thursday. Omg. Last night was definitely the drunkest I’ve been since I got to SEA. No bueno. It’s because I was hanging out with my Irish relatives. It is what it is. I am still drunk, I think? I don’t remember how I got home. I got lost at the...Read More
